Several companies form new open-source project to improve cyberattack detection and remediation
The Open CyberSecurity Schema Framework (OCSF) is an open-source project that provides a framework for developing security schemas. In order to detect and stop cyberattacks, there must be coordination across several different tools, but that currently requires a lot of time and resources because there is no standard, vendor-agnostic schema these tools follow, OCSF explained. … continue reading
ITOps Times Open-Source Project of the Week: Llama2 WebUI
With this project, users can run Llama 2 locally with gradio UI on GPU or CPU from anywhere (Linux/Windows/Mac). It supports Llama-2-7B/13B/70B with 8-bit, 4-bit. It also supports GPU inference (6 GB VRAM) and CPU inference. Llama 2 is a collection of pre-trained and fine-tuned generative text models ranging in scale from 7 billion to … continue reading

To enable this goal, the … continue reading
ITOps Times Open-Source Project of the Week: Volcano
Volcano is an open-source project used for running high-performance workloads on Kubernetes. Kubernetes does not natively provide batch scheduling, which is something required by many workloads, such as machine learning and deep learning, bioinformatics, and other big data applications. This is where Volcano comes in. According to Volcano, often those types of workloads run on … continue reading
